1. Overview

2. EV overview

2.1 Electric vehicle system

An electric vehicle operates differently as compared to an internal combustion engine vehicle as it is powered by a battery power pack. The car battery must be charged with electricity before driving it. Driving the car uses up the energy in the battery pack. The car stops when the power reduces to 0% SOC and must be recharged. The charging time depends on the state of charge of battery pack and ambient conditions. Under normal conditions (battery temperature of 30°C), full charging takes up to 9 hours.

The work functions of the car 12V systems in drive/idle and switched off modes are supported by an 12V auxiliary battery and DC-DC converter. The battery pack powers the drive motor. The car brakes are operated by regenerative electric braking with vacuum assisted hydraulic brakes.

Always check available energy for your required travel distance by checking the state of charge (SOC) and also distance to empty. Whenever the charge level goes below 5%, last SOC bar starts blinking, indicating the user to carefully drive in order to reach the destination.

If the charge level drops below 10% SOC, the car will shift to power saving mode, resulting in reduced car performance.

The air-conditioning will be automatically turned OFF. The Revive feature can be enabled if the energy levels drop to below 10% SOC. The battery pack also gets discharged if the car is parked in idle mode for a long time.

Requires special attention:

• Battery performance depends on its temperature. Park your car in a warm garage to optimize driving range.
• Make sure to turn OFF the drive system before exiting the car.
• Engage the parking brake before getting out of the car.
• Do not allow an untrained person to access the EV system. In any event, please acquaint immediate responders about e2o being an electric vehicle.

For preventing damage to Li-ion battery pack:

1. Do not expose it to very high temperatures for longer durations.
2. Do not use the car battery for any other purposes. Always consult your dealer or manufacturer for help and support.

2.2 Warning

The car uses a 72-volt battery system. Some of the systems could be extremely hot before or after use. Practice caution and follow the warning labels located at several places in the vehicle. Don't try to access or remove parts/cables/connectors that can cause shock, severe burns or result in serious injury. The 72-volt cables are coloured Orange and cannot be serviced by users. For any maintenance issues, contact your authorised service centre.

In the event of an accident:

1. If the car can be driven, move it off the road. Park and turn OFF the drive system.
2. Check for any exposed 72-volt cables or parts. You can do so by referring to the diagram showing the voltage layout of the system. Never touch exposed 72-volt cables to avoid possible electric shock.
3. In case the battery compartment floor area has been badly affected, stop at a safe location and check the floor area for any possible leak or damage that could cause a fire.

In case of a fire in the EV, evacuate immediately.

Only use ABC, BC or C type of fire extinguishers recommended for electrical fire hazards. If the car has to be towed,do it with recovery vehicle support.If the recommended fire extinguishers are not used, the drive motor may generate electricity and damage the EV components and result in a fire. In case the vehicle cannot be assessed for extent of damage, immediately contact the nearest authorised service centre or customer care executive for support. Do not touch the vehicle. If the body of the vehicle requires repair, the vehicle should be taken to the authorised service center to evaluate the extent of damage and take necessary precautions. Damaged Li-on battery modules could pose safety risks and should not be handled by an untrained technician or repairman.

The car has a sealed Li-ion battery pack. Improper disposal of battery could lead to of severe burns and electrical shock that may result in serious injury or death. It may cause environmental damage. Always dispose battery as per the local regulations.

3. Charging

3.1 Vehicle charging

The battery power pack has to be charged once the energy in it is depleted. There are two ways to charge the battery power pack:

1. Normal charging
2. DC fast charging

The time taken to charge the battery pack depends on a lot of factors such as the state of charge, the ambient and battery temperature. The charging time, therefore, is an estimate and may vary depending on the aforementioned conditions.

• If you use any medical devices such as a cardiac pacemaker or a cardiovascular defibrillator, please check with the supplier or manufacturer on concerns of effects that the EV charging or discharging system might have on the device.
• It is also advisable not to stay inside the car or access it during the charging process as it may affect the functioning of the electric medical device resulting in serious injury.
• Do not drag the charge cable or store it close to any heat source.
• Make sure that there are no foreign particles or water traces in the charge plug or port as it can result in electric short circuit or shock causing serious injury. Do not touch metal contacts on cable.
• Ensure that the power supply is turned OFF before accessing charge cable.
• Do not handle the charge cable or port with wet hands as it may cause electric shock resulting in serious injury or death.
• Do not pull or twist the cable and always remove it by holding the charge cable handle after switching OFF.
• Do not modify the cable as it may cause fire hazard.
• If you observe an unusual odor or smoke coming from vehicle, immediately stop charging.
• Always make sure that the charge cable is disconnected from vehicle charge port before driving.
• Charging may affect the operation of worn or implanted electric medical devices and could result in serious injury or death.

3.2 Types of charging

The vehicle can be charged using a charging cable provided with car at home or at work.

Normal charging:

Always use the charging cable provided with car while charging. A normal full charging cycle takes approximately 9 hours at the ideal battery power pack temperature.

DC fast charging

Fast charger allows you to charge the battery power pack quickly from 0% to 95% energy level in 1hour 30 minutes at the ideal battery power pack temperature.

Fast charging cannot be done at home. It can only be availed at 'Fast charge' stations available exclusively for suitable electric vehicles equipped with compatible charge cables. It is recommended to use fast charging only during emergency.

For more details, refer "Fast charging" section on page 35.

While you plug in the car for charging after a drive, always connect the charge cable to plug point and then charging port after stepping out of the car, then turn on mains to start charging.

3.3 Normal charging

Charging your car is safe and easy and can be done in 5 simple steps:

Step 1: Apply the PARKING BRAKE, press start switch once to turn OFF.

Step 2: Pull the charge port flap release lever to open.

Step 3: Open the rear hatch to take the charge cable from vehicle located behind rear seat and close the rear hatch.

Step 4: Plug in one side of charge cable to vehicle charge port. Ensure the handle is pushed in completely.

Step 5: Plug in other end to plug point and turn ON the power supply switch to enable the charging process.

Before installing the plug point (16A, 230V AC), get your house electrical wiring verified by an electrician. This will prevent any power trips due to overload and ensure a safe fitment.

Ensure that charge cable handle is fully pushed in to the vehicle charge port and then insert other end to plug point before starting the charging process.

Once you connect and plug it in on both sides, turn ON the power supply. The charging message and blinking charging light will be displayed on the cluster.

The charging light on the cluster turns solid once the charging is complete. After the vehicle battery power pack is fully charged, turn off power supply at plug point to disconnect. Remove the charge cable from plug point and then from onboard charge port.

Close the charge port flap till it locks. Roll and keep the charge cable back in the storage area behind the rear seat.

Once in 3days, keep the car for an overnight charge by a normal charging process to ensure that all battery modules in the power pack are charged and balanced. This optimises the drive range and extends the life of the battery pack.

3.4 Charge duration

Time taken for charging can go up to 9 hours from level zero. It takes up to approximately 9 hours for a 100% charge (given the temperature of the battery power pack is 30°C at the time of charging). After charging, the power pack will internally start cell balancing for about 4 hours. This process optimises the battery pack's life and performance.

Charging duration may vary if:

1. The battery power pack temperature is above 30°C at the time of charging. It will take more time for a full charge and will not charge if it is more than 45°C.
2. The battery power pack temperature is below 0°C, the car will not charge. It is therefore, advisable to keep your car in a warm garage.

• Battery balancing will happen only after a normal full charge and takes about 4 hours.
• There is no indication on cluster while the battery cell balancing is in progress. Allow car to remain on charge for 4 hours post a full charge cycle (indicated by 100% SOC and solid charge light).

3.5 Ideal time to charge

The vehicle can be charged anytime with available charging facility. However, charging the vehicle during a specific time does have its advantages:

1. Normally most of requirements for city mobility are during daytime. Charging at night will not interfere with daily travel plans.
2. At night the ambient temperature is lower and ideal for charging.

3.6 Intelligent charging system

The vehicle has an Intelligent Energy Management System [IEMS] and Battery management system [BMS] that controls the energy flow from mains to the battery power pack through the on-board charger. This optimises energy consumption while charging the battery pack. If there is a voltage fluctuation or an interruption in the main power supply while charging, the system resumes from the point where it paused charging.

ICCB (In cable control box) display:

Green LED : Green LED solid light indicates power ON.

Amber LED : Red LED light indicates under voltage with faster blink, over voltage with slow blink and no earth with solid light.

Red LED : Amber LED light blinking at faster rate shows over load / short circuit, slow blinking for reverse voltage and slow blink / solid light for earth leak. (auto reset for 2 seconds and goes on for 5 times before shutdown).

Blue LED: Blue LED solid light indicates output is OK, blinking indicates charging.

3.7 Fast charging

The car is fitted with a fast charging port which uses high DC (current) supply for charging. This can be done only at a public fast charging station.

Fast charge can be done in the following steps:

1. Check for public fast charging station availability in the region.
2. Park the car next to the fast charging station and ensure that the STOP switch is turned OFF.
3. Open the fast charge port flap by pulling the release lever located next to the driver side seat.
4. Take the fast charge cable from station. Open the charge port flap, Insert the connector with a slight push into the car's fast charge port.
5. If equipped, set the charging time and press START switch on fast charger based on requirement.
6. The car will charge as per charge settings selected at the time of charging.
7. Once charging is complete, turn OFF power supply, unplug the charge cable from the car and dock the cable back to the fast charge station.
8. Close the fast charge flap and charge port flap till it locks.

* Fast charging station shown is only pictorial representation and will vary from actual.

3.8 Fast charge duration

• Normally charging by this mode takes approximately 1hour 30 minutes from a level zero charge to 95% of energy level with an ideal battery power pack temperature of 30°C.
• The charging time will be more if the battery power pack temperature is between 0°C and 15°C or more than 30°C.

• Fast charging will not take place if the battery temperature is below 0°C or more than 45°C.
• If you use fast charging often, ensure that you allow a normal overnight charge once in 3-4 days for the batteries to balance and be optimised.

3.9 Charging precautions

1. Always use the charge cable purchased with your car for charging.
2. Do not charge your vehicle, if the power socket and / or charge port are exposed to rain or water.
3. Do not plug in charge cable with wet hands.
4. It is recommended not to charge your car in direct sunlight.
5. Make sure that children are at a safe distance from the vehicle charge port and external charge ports, while charging.

Step 6: Ensure that the seat belts are fastened.

Step 7: Press the brake pedal and press the GEAR LEVER release button to move the gear lever to desired driving position.

Step 8: Release the PARKING BRAKE. The car will start moving at a slow speed due to Creep feature (5 Kmph). Press the ACCELERATOR PEDAL to increase speed. Use your right foot only for operating accelerator and brake pedals.

9.2 Driving

Step 9: When you require a higher acceleration to overtake other vehicles or for an uphill climb, press BRAKE PEDAL, move GEAR LEVER to BOOST [B] mode. You will get a much higher torque. The maximum speed is 85 kmph. It is possible for you to switch from Forward [F] mode to Boost [B] mode and vice-versa when the car is in motion. However, for optimal driving range, use Forward [F] mode.

Step10: To reverse, make sure that your car is stationary. Press the brake and move GEAR LEVER to REVERSE [R] mode, car will start moving slowly. Press the accelerator gently and drive backward. In this mode, speed is limited to approx. 20 kmph.

Following the steps given above, makes it simple and easy to control your drive and your car. Read section "Extending Driving Range" on page 92 to get the best performance out of your car.

Reverse camera

Use the REVERSE CAMERA (if equipped) to assist you while reversing your car. It turns on as soon you select REVERSE mode with the infotainment system turned on.

9.3 Revive

When the charge level in your battery pack reduces to less than 10% SOC, the car's energy monitoring system puts it on the POWER SAVE mode. This is due to preprogrammed software in your vehicle's Intelligent Energy Management System [IEMS] and the Motor Controller. These components will monitor, as far as possible, that you never get stranded on the road due to insufficient energy in the battery pack. The digital SOC and the SOC bar display available energy and DISTANCE TO EMPTY indicating your driving range from the previous and the present drive. As you drive, the digital SOC and gauge bar will reduce, displaying possible driving range expected from the remaining energy in the battery pack.

If the SOC is low (<10%) while driving, you can activate Revive to use reserve energy. This will release the reserved energy and will help you in reaching your destination or the nearest charging point.

The Revive feature provides 7% SOC equivalent to 10 kilometers at 30°C of battery temperature. Revive should be used in case of an emergency. So, use the feature only when its necessary and plan your drive carefully.

If the authentication attempt is unsuccessful, the cluster will display RESTART message within 60 seconds. Press the start switch again and reposition key fob for authentication.

• Operate the brake pedal and accelerator pedal with your right foot only.
• While driving,if you remove your foot from accelerator pedal without pressing the brake pedal, you will feel partial regenerative braking. This is normal and is attributed to vehicle's regenerative braking that will recharge batteries giving you extra driving range.
• If the START or STOP buttons are turned off, it takes few seconds for LED to turn off. If you want to switch on the car during that time, simply press the START switch again, it does not require authentication again.

Always ensure that the energy level is sufficient for your planned travel distance. Avoid driving below 1% SOC as the vehicle might stop at any point of time. Plug in for charge at first opportunity.

9.4 Hill assist (Creep)

This feature allows you to control your car better on inclined roads, after releasing brake. It gives an added advantage to the user by moving forward or backward based on gear selection while driving on an incline.

The car has energy save feature as the power is turned off by Start switch. The power consumption by the car's electric system is minimized as power to some of the electric components is shutdown. During this, if car is not used for a couple of days, the auxiliary battery voltage will reduce. The car system turn on by IEMS and on board charger will charge the auxiliary battery with charger cooling fan operation. This may result in a sound of the cooling fan, contactor sound and is normal.

9.5 Extending drive range

1. Always make sure that you release the parking brake completely before driving your car.
2. Always drive car using the right foot only.
3. Always drive in Forward [F] mode to get optimum range out of battery. Use B mode when you want to overtake.
4. Pre-cool your car cabin remotely by turning on air conditioning while the car is still plugged in for charge.This will ensure that battery will be in 100% charge and the cabin temperature preconditioned.
5. Use air conditioning with desired level of cooling settings during drive. This will reduce the energy consumed for cooling.
6. By carefully applying gradual brakes, you will ensure that the car batteries will have regenerative charge for that extra range.

If the car is kept idle without use, the vehicle battery energy will have 1% idle discharge per day. Hence it is always advised to charge vehicle battery pack to 100% SOC (overnight charge) before using whenever car is kept idle for many days.

9.6 Electric power steering

The electric power steering system is designed reduce steering effort during drive. The motor in the steering column will assist whenever it senses the driver making an effort on the steering wheel at key ON. When the steering wheel is operated repeatedly or continuously while parking or while driving at low speeds, power assist for steering wheel will be reduced. This is to prevent overheating of the power steering system and protect it from getting damaged. While power assistance is reduced, the steering wheel operation will become harder. When the temperature of the power steering system comes down, power assistance will return to normal.Avoid such repeated steering wheel operations that could cause power steering system to overheat.

If it is overheated, you may hear a 5 second chime sound at key switch ON or during drive along with EV warning lamp and CHK EPS message on cluster.

This indicates that the power steering system is not functioning properly and may need servicing. Have the power steering system checked by a Mahindra authorised service dealer.

In the event of EV warning lamp and CHK EPS message on cluster, the power assist for steering will cease operation. You will, however, have control on the vehicle but a higher steering effort will be required for sharp turns and low speeds.

If the power steering system malfunctions, you may hear 5 seconds chime accompanied by EV warning lamp and CHK EPS message on cluster.Drive carefully and visit authorised Mahindra dealer for support.

9.7 Troubleshooting

If any of problems mentioned above remain unresolved even after you have attempted all the remedial measures mentioned, please contact the authorised service centre for assistance.

10. Tyres

10.1 Tyres

The car is provided with tubeless tyres.

10.2 Tyre pressure

Recommended tyre pressure (Cold fill) D+3 is:

Driver (D), D+1 or D+2 is:

10.3 Tyre markings

Continental tyres on the car are marked as-

Any under inflated tyre generates excessive heat that may reduce the life of tyres. Check inflation pressures on all tyres at least once in two weeks before driving. This should be done when tyres are cold.

Low tyre inflation pressure will result in higher rolling resistance and will have a negative effect on the driving range.

Tyres used are with special low rolling resistance and should be replaced with the same type. Using any other type of tyres other than the recommended Continental make will result in reduced driving range. All kind of repair/maintenance should be carried out by authorised service center only. Failure to do so can result in warranty becoming null and void.

Wheel alignment and balancing are important for safety and to optimise driving range and tyre life.

The tyres fitted in the vehicle meet the requirements of BIS and comply with the requirements under the CMVR 1989, as mentioned notification SO 2953E.

10.4 Wheel alignment and balancing

If your tyres are wearing unevenly, for example, the inside shoulder of the tyre is wearing out faster than rest of the tread, or if you detect excessive vibration, get your wheel alignment and balancing checked immediately. These conditions not only effect life of tyres, but adversely affect the functioning of the car.

1. Worn out indicators are seen at three or more places on tyre.
2. Cord / fabric can be seen showing through the tyre rubber.
3. Tread or sidewall is cracked, cut, or snagged deep enough to show cord or fabric.
4. Tyre has a bump, bulge or split.
5. Tyre has is damaged, punctured or cut, and can't be repaired because of the size or location of damage.

10.5 Tyre rotation

For uniform tyre wear, rotate tyres periodically as shown below. Purpose of tyre rotation at specified intervals is to get best mileage from all tyres in vehicle. First rotation is most important.When rotating tyres, always use rotation pattern as shown below. Make sure wheel nuts are tightened to specified torque of 70Nm.

While carrying out tyre rotation, check for damaged tyres and wheels. Also get wheel alignment and balancing checked at periodic intervals. After every 10,000 kilometers, tyres rotation must be carried out.

Periodic rotation of tyres will result in uniform tyre wear. It is essential to get wheel alignment checked at service intervals after tyres rotation. After tyres have been rotated, get the tyre pressures adjusted to the recommended value as indicated on the door pillar.

10.6 Tyre inspection

Objects on the road, such as potholes, pieces of glass, metal, rocks, wood, debris, etc. can damage a tyre.These should be safely avoided if possible. Unavoidable contact with such objects should immediately be followed by a tyre inspection. Always look for bulges, cracks, cuts and abnormal tyre wear, especially on edge of tyre tread, which could be caused by a wrong alignment or under-inflation. If any such damage is found, contact the nearest authorised service centre.

10.7 Changing flat tyre

Follow the 6 simple steps given below to change a flat tyre:

Step 1: Park vehicle on firm, level and non-slippery ground away from the traffic. Shift GEAR LEVER to N (Neutral) mode. Engage the parking brake, turn on the hazard warning lights and turn off the key switch. Empty the car of all passengers before changing a flat tyre.

The spare tyre is meant for using as a spare for a short distance only up to the nearest tyre repair shop. It should not be used as a replacement to 165/60/R14 tyre.

Step 2: Remove the wheel spanner from the tool kit and provide a stopper to the wheel parallel to the flat tyre before jacking up for changing the wheel.

The car can roll off jack and seriously injuring anyone underneath if the instructions for changing a tyre are not followed properly. Never get under the vehicle when it is supported by just the jack.

Step 3: If required remove the hubcap by holding cap at the top and tapping it gently. Loosen four-wheel nuts - a ½ turn with wheel spanner. Locate the jack point nearest to the flat tyre.

Step 4: Place the jack under jack point. Turn the end bracket clockwise until top of jack is in contact with the jack point. Make sure jack point tab is resting in jack notch. Use jack rod to raise the vehicle until the flat tyre is just off the ground. Remove wheel nuts and flat tyre. Temporarily place the flat tyre on the ground with the outside surface of the wheel facing up. You could scratch the wheel if it is put face down.

Step 5: Before mounting the spare or repaired tyre, wipe any dirt off the mounting surface of the wheel and the hub with a clean cloth. Wipe hub carefully, as it could be hot from the drive. Fix tyre, put wheel nuts back on finger-tight, then tighten them in a crisscross pattern with the wheel spanner until wheel is firm against the hub.

Step 6: Lower the car to the ground and remove jack. Tighten the wheel nuts securely in crisscross pattern to recommended torque (70nm). Fix the tool kit in the pouch located behind rear seat. Fix the hubcap by placing it in its original position and tapping it gently at center.

After the car tyre is repaired, it should be replaced and spare tyre to be fitted back under the bonnet.

12.4 Brake fluid

Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir located under the bonnet once in 2 weeks. Fluid level should be between MIN and MAX marks on the side of the reservoir. If the level is below MIN mark, your brake fluid needs topping up. To fill, press the reservoir cap, turn it anticlockwise to open, fill with DOT-3 brake fluid up to MAX level and close cap. If there is frequent drop in the fluid level, have the car brake system inspected for any leaks or worn out brake pads.

12.5 Tyres inflation

For safe driving, tyres must be in good condition with adequate tread and should be correctly inflated.

Keeping tyres properly inflated provides best the combination of handling, tread life and riding comfort. Under inflated tyres, wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and are more likely to fail due to overheating.

Over inflated tyres can make your ride bumpy or difficult. They are more prone to damage from road hazards and wear unevenly. It is recommended that you check your tyres every week and maintain the correct tyre pressure as suggested in the section on "Tyres" on page 98.

It is recommended to get wheel balancing and alignment done whenever tyre rotation is done.

In addition to proper inflation, get the wheel alignment done at recommended intervals that helps decrease tyre wear and tear. If you observe that the tyre is getting worn unevenly, contact your service centre for an alignment check.

12.6 Windscreen washer tank

Windscreen washer fluid tank is located under the bonnet on left-hand side corner. Check the level of the washer fluid in the tank at least once a month. Top up fluid when necessary. Absence of washer fluid can damage your washer motor. It is advisable to always keep washer fluid topped-up along with an anti-freeze solution.

Use an anti-freeze solution in the windscreen washer reservoir. This will prevent the liquid in the washer unit from freezing during very low temperatures.

There may be damage if the washer motor is operated when the fluid is frozen or there is no fluid in the reservoir, or the nozzle is blocked.

12.7 Wiper blade replacement

Contamination by dust on either windscreen or wiper blades can reduce effectiveness of the front and rear windscreen wipers. If the blades are not wiping properly, it could be time to replace them. To replace wiper blade, press the RETAINING CLIP and pull the blade off the arm. Push the new wiper blade into the arm with a 'click' sound to lock.

12.8 Fuse box

Components in the car are protected from short circuits by fuses. A fuse box containing various fuses with ratings for different operations is located under the bonnet, below the right side close-out cover. It has relays for other functions.

1. Open the bonnet, provide prop rod stopper to bonnet.
2. Open fuse box cover by pulling it up.
3. Identify fuse, amperage, location by referring fuse list on cover.
4. Check the fuse, if it is blown, remove fuse using fuse puller (located in glove box) and replace with spare fuse after rectifying the problem.
5. Refix the fuse box cover, and close the bonnet with gentle downward push.

Replenish the fuse and refit cover. If any of the car's functions are not working properly or have stopped working, it could be due to a blown fuse or a short circuit. If the fuse gets blown frequently, please get it fixed with the help of authorised service technicians.

Always use fuses of correct rating. Do not use wire or aluminum for a fused circuit. Remember to replenish the fuse box with spare fuses that can be purchased from the authorised service centre.

12.9 Storing your car

If you are not using your car for an extended period or over a week, ensure that it is kept on charge while you are away. The computer controlled on-board charger will keep the power pack charged as and when a discharge takes place while plugged in with mains on. If car is to be stored for an even longer period support it on jack stands or blocks, with tyres off the ground. Support the wiper blade arms with a folded towel or a paper tag so that they do not touch the windshield.

12.10 Interior notes & caution

To remove dirt, vacuum the carpets frequently. Always keep the carpets as dry as possible. Vacuum dirt or dust out of the upholstery frequently. To clean stubborn stains, use a commercially available fabric cleaner. To make sure it does not bleach or stain fabric, test it on a hidden area of the fabric. Make sure the solution does not penetrate into the foam beneath the fabric. Covering seat headrest with a cover will ensure that upholstery is maintained.

Clean inside and outside window surfaces with soap, water or a commercially available glass cleaner. This will remove haze that builds up on the inside of windows. Use a soft cloth or paper towels to clean all glasses and to clean interior plastic surfaces.

If vehicle seat belts get dirty, use a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and warm water to clean them. Do not use bleach, dye, or solvents as they weaken the belt material. Dirt builds up in the loops of seat belt anchors and can cause belts to retract slowly.

12.11 Exterior notes

Let the seat belts air-dry before using them. Wipe the inside area of the loops with a clean cloth dampened in mild soap and warm water.

Do not use or spray water in the car interiors. Doing so can result in damage(s) to car's electronic components. Always vacuum clean the interiors.

Do not use strong soaps and chemicals for cleaning.

Avoid washing under direct sun light to avoid the surface from getting water spotted.

Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on gauges or display lens covers, it damages & reduces visibility.

Never use benzene or thinner to clean any part.

Daily cleaning and polishing the car helps keeping it in a new condition. Here are few tips on preserving its appearance.

Be careful while purchasing air fresheners as some of them can damage your vehicle interiors.

• Dirt or grit can scratch the body panel, while tree sap and bird droppings can ruin the finish permanently.
• Use anti-static brush for cleaning the car roof panel. Rinse the car body with cold water to remove loose dirt, use mild detergent made for cars for washing.
• Wash car using sponge or soft cloth. Start from top to bottom and rinse frequently.
• Check the car body for tree sap or foreign particles. Clean it immediately to prevent stain marks on the panel.
• After washing, dry it with chamois or a soft towel.
• Use glass cleaner to clean glass.

• Remove wheel covers carefully. Wash and keep on a soft surface to prevent scratches.
• Use a mild detergent and a soft brush to clean wheels.
• Wash the wheels and wheel caps with water.

12.12 Maintenance schedule

Note: * It is pertinent to mention wheel alignment settings of the car get disturbed severely when driven on uneven surfaces (more specifically, pot holes, unscientific speed breakers etc.).This means waiting for the recommended kilometers will prove detrimental. We will, therefore, recommend wheel alignment at 5000 kms or earlier whenever there has been sustained use of the car on poor roads. Any decision to delay/decline wheel alignment will impact safety and durability.

LEGENDS: I&T: Inspect & Torque, R: Replace, I: Inspect & Correct,Y:Yes, C: Clean and O: optional (Paid) * Applicable variant

Note: An inspection can lead to a replacement based on the condition of the part.

LEGENDS: I&T: Inspect & Torque, R: Replace, I: Inspect & Correct,Y:Yes, C: Clean and O: Optional (Paid) * Applicable variant

Note: An inspection can lead to a replacement based on the condition of the part.

The Scheduled services are compulsory at recommended time intervals or kilometers (whichever is earlier). Failure to do so results in the warranty getting void.

12.13 Jump starting

The car has an auxiliary battery that should not be used to jump start any other battery in the system. Do not use the car battery to jump start other vehicles.

12.14 Battery pack

The battery pack needs regular balancing and recharging as low usage of car and not keeping it plugged in overnight charge once in 3 days leads to development of unequal states between battery modules in pack. Not plugged in could result in activation of “SAFE MODE” or “CHG FULL” messages and EV warning lamp on instrument cluster despite of higher charge level during drive. Hence it is recommended to plug the car for overnight charging (about 4hours after 100%) once in 3 days to balance battery cell voltages to keep all of them at same level.

12.15 End of life disposal

This electric vehicle uses many electric and electronic parts in its system. Part composition is explained so that it can be recycled after the end of life of the car. It has to be dismantled and disposed of without causing any kind of environmental pollution through accredited agencies.

The car is made out of steel, ABS panels, aluminum, lead, copper, wood, other plastics, glass, rubber and misc. Some of them are reusable while others might pose an environmental hazard and should be disposed of as per local pollution board regulations.

Vehicle owners should contact the local distributor or MEVL for disposal of used parts / materials after the end of its life. Local distributor or MEVL would guide to local accredited agencies for disposal abiding local laws and the pollution control board regulations.

• As the batteries are made of lithium and iron phosphate with solvents as electrolyte which are harmful, and have an adverse impact on the environment, they should be disposed as per local regulations.
• Similarly, ABS and other plastic panels used should be disposed of to accredited agencies for recycling.
• Most of other materials are reusable, components are to be segregated based on composition, as hazardous and nonhazardous, and should be disposed of to accredited recycling agencies.

It is advisable to contact the authorised service centre or MEVL for parts or vehicle disposal.

13.1 Emergency safety

The safety measures given below are set with the 72V system:

1. 72V positive (+) and negative (-) are isolated from the vehicle chassis.
2. 72V components are labeled and harnesses are orange colour coded for easy identification to isolate or help protect occupants and emergency responders from any electric shock.

1. If key switch led is GREEN then the 72V system is active.
2. If the charge indicator on the cluster is blinking, then the 72V system and also the 230VAC supply is active.
3. If HVAC is operating, then the 72V system is active.

Press the start switch once to turn off the power to system. The status LED turns off.

In event of a road accident:

Check if vehicle can be driven, if so drive off to road side (by lane),apply parking brake and turn off the key switch.

Do a visual check for any damage to the bottom side of vehicle and request for dealer service support.

In the event of a fire, appraise the first responder in the EV to use AB type extinguisher for dousing fire.

In the event of a rear collision, check extent of damage to on board regular / fast charging ports, contact dealer service person for assistance.

For accident body repair, contact service dealer.

13.2 Battery power pack information

The car has a Li-ion battery having solvents as electrolytes. In case of a fire or high impact accident that damages the battery, the user is advised to walk away from the vehicle, and notify appropriate first responder and appraise fact that vehicle is an EV with 72V DC system. Battery electrolyte is colourless,has sweet odor.Coming in contact with it may irritate skin and eyes.In case of an exposure,use excess water to rinse area of contact and see a doctor immediately. This is highly a flammable substance. Even in case of a small fire, ABC type fire extinguisher should be used for dousing it. Since the battery modules are sealed and small in size, a large leakage of electrolytes is unlikely.

13.3 Recovery and Towing of car (recommended)

During an emergency towing, it is advisable to follow the above illustrated types of towing. The 3rd type of towing should be adopted only in the event of non availability of a recovery vehicle.

The 3 types of vehicle recovery are as follows:

1. Flat bed - Broken down vehicle is loaded on to the back of the recovery truck. This is safest and best way of towing.
2. Wheel lift - Tow truck pivot arms go below the front tyres and lift them off the ground. The back wheels are on the ground.
3. Towing by cable - the broken down vehicle is fixed to a tow hook and towed by another vehicle using a towing cable.

Ensure that key switch is off while recovering the car using the 2nd and 3rd types of recovery methods.

If the car breaks down, push it to the side of road. Take the tow hook from the tool kit. Tow hook mounting threaded holes are provided at front LH side ends of chassis cross member near the bottom grill below the number plate. Fix the hook by turning it into the hole in an anticlockwise direction. Tie one end of the towing rope to the tow hook eye of the broken down vehicle and the other end to the vehicle towing it. While towing, the key should be off, the hand brake released, and towing speed should be limited to limited to less than 20kmph.

• Always turn off the START / STOP switch before towing.
• Always switch on hazard warning of both the vehicles to caution other users of road while towing.
• Do not tow broken down vehicle at more than 20 kmph speed.
• Always maintain a gap of 4 meters between the affected car and the towing vehicle.
• Always tow vehicle without jerks to avoid snapping of towing eyelet.
